Abstract: Actuating mechanism (1) for a drum brake having provision for operating the brake in either a service brake mode or a park brake mode. The mechanism (1) includes a piston-cylinder assembly (9) which is located between two abutments (13, 15) at respective opposite ends (5, 6) of the brake shoe (3) and which is operable to spread those ends apart to apply the brake in the service mode of operation. The mechanism (1) also includes a pivotally mounted lever (19) which is rotated in one direction during the park brake mode of operation and in so doing coacts with one of the shoe abutments (15) and simultaneously pushes the piston-cylinder assembly(9) against the other abutment (13). The assembly (9) therefore functions as part of the lever (19) for the purpose of spreading the shoe ends (5, 6) and applying the brake in the park brake mode.

Abstract: De nombreuses machines, en particulier les ordinateurs, exécutent des opérations de décision pendant leur fonctionnement. Ces opérations de décision impliquent généralement la vérification des valeurs d'un certain nombre de facteurs de condition et la détermination du résultat désiré en rapport à une fonction de décision prédéterminée. Cette fonction de décision peut prendre la forme d'un certain nombre d'instructions individuelles mettant des combinaisons de valeurs de facteurs de condition en relation avec des résultats particuliers. Afin de faciliter la production et la modification par un utilisateur terminal d'une fonction de décision par la production et la modification d'un ensemble d'instructions, une représentation structurée pour ces dernières est présentée à l'utilisateur et lesdites instructions sont créées et modifiées dans cet environnement structuré. Avant qu'un ensemble d'instructions nouveau ou modifié soit accepté, la cohérence entre les instructions est vérifiée. Même lorsqu'il y a conflit entre des instructions, cela peut être permis à condition que l'on sache clairement quelle instruction est prioritaire, ces instructions constituant des exceptions par rapport à des instructions plus générales.

Abstract: The applicator contains a vertically movable applicator nozzle (1) for applying a medium such as adhesive, sealant etc. to a workpiece such as a windscreen. The applicator nozzle (1) is vertically displaceably mounted so that it can follow concave or convex curvature of the workpiece. So that the applicator nozzle (1) is always supported by a predetermined constant pressure when passing through the application path on the workpiece, it is mounted on a constant-pressure pneumatic air suspension. For this purpose, the mounting of the applicator nozzle (1) is connected to a cylinder (5) which is vertically displaceable and encloses a stationary piston (6) which delimits an upper (7) and a lower (8) cylinder chamber. The upper cylinder chamber (7) is furnished with a valve device (11) which is connected to a compressed air source which, when the volume of the upper cylinder chamber (7) increases, correspondingly feeds compressed air into this. Furthermore, the valve device contains a venting valve (13) which, when the volume of the upper cylinder chamber (7) decreases, correspondingly allows compressed air to escape. The lower cylinder chamber (8) is always unpressurized. By selecting a suitable pressure in the upper cylinder chamber (7), the application force of the applicator nozzle (1) on the workpiece can be adjusted. <IMAGE>

Abstract: Selon l'invention, les fibres sont, de préférence, ouvertes au cours de la production, à haute vitesse, de bandes légères et uniformes constituées de fibres textiles étalées par jet d'air. Dans un mode de réalisation préféré, on utilise un cylindre de dispersion monté rotatif pour ouvrir et peigner les fibres et les faire entrer dans un courant d'air à haute vitesse uniforme et à basse turbulence, afin de constituer un mince courant de fibres à partir duquel les fibres sont déposées de façon qu'elles forment une bande sur un tamis en mouvement. Une plaque de dispersion cintrée enveloppe le cylindre de dispersion et empêche un peignage prématuré. Grâce à l'utilisation d'une plaque de dispersion spécifique dont les nervures sont exposées sur une longueur comprise entre 0,01 et 0,20 pouces et séparées les unes des autres par des intervalles de 0,15 à 2,0 pouces, la qualité de la bande est considérablement améliorée puisque le nombre de défauts restant dans la bande sous la forme de grumeaux de fibres non ouvertes est nettement inférieur.
